Changing Farm Sizes and Productivity Across Regions
In early prairie days a section was a small farm, but now the average in many states sits near 160 acres. Forty acres is seen as a fair farm, with twenty-acre plots doing well. Ten acres can support a living, while some use only fire. Smaller farms cultivate better and yield more per acre. In France rural holdings average about three quarters of an acre, yet French peasants prosper, using land efficiently. France’s banks hold more deposits than any other nation.
